Crossroads Cottage", was constructed in 1939 inspired by the legacy of the Cotswold Cottage building style. The Cotswold style of architecture is a unique style based on houses from the Cotswold region of England, and is sometimes called the storybook style, with buildings made in this form also sometimes referred to as Tudor cottages. Cotswold architecture is a subtype of the Tudor Revival house style, and likely came to the United States as a result in a renewed interest in medieval housing styles. The cottage is surrounded by serene nature preserves, parks, civil war ruins & civil rights history-- yet only a few miles to downtown, 285, the airport, & the Beltline.
